My relationship with Fashola is intact - Bola Tinubu writes

Below is a press statement from the office of former Lagos state governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu...

For
a while now, I have noticed and read many published political stories
on Lagos politics in particular and the personalities involved that are
either concerted, unsubstantiated, pure conjectures or outright
falsehood. In this instance, I reference a recent story ran by a major
newspaper concerning my successor and me. There is no doubt political
charlatans and enemies are at work fueling unnecessary rumour and
insinuations and seeking to drive a wedge in an otherwise cordial and
respectful political relationship. My relationship with Governor Fashola
remains cordial both at the personal level and at the level of
commitment to ensuring Lagos State remains on the path of political
stability, growth and development.
